Notes
This afternoon I drove up Bridger canyon to Seitz Rd to see the extent of wet snow activity, and stopped in a few places to look with binoculars. There were many loose wet avalanches that ran over the last 1-3 days. I estimate they involved the upper 6-12" of snow. Activity was widespread and many slides were plenty large enough to be dangerous, but there was nothing especially remarkable about the size and I saw zero wet slabs.
Temperature was 65-70 degrees in the canyon, mostly clear skies with a few clouds, calm to light wind.

Notes
Driving home from Bridger Bowl I spotted a number of wet loose avalanches in Argentina bowl. It was 1:30 PM when I saw them and the sun was still blazing. I would expect there was more activity as the afternoon progressed.
